The Puffins is well equipped especially the kitchen facilities, the sofa was an issue and uncomfortable, bed was way to soft for us. Cleanliness could be better but overall it was safe for dogs, I would still recommend it for the location.

Very compact but with everything you need. It is a bit of a walk to a pub or restaurant but you should realise that looking at map .All Aboard cafe, pizza nearest and very good. Had problem with hot water for a day, evening but sorted next day efficiently. Sofa not comfortable quite hard to sit on. Welcome pack, tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and a bottle in fridge very nice touch.
